MY PROJECT
First, I just wanted to say what a privilege it is to celebrate and participate in this blog hop honoring Rubeena's 4th Crafting Anniversary. Rubeena is not only superlatively talented, but incredibly generous, dedicated, friendly and all-round an awesome sweetheart of a person. What a treat to commemorate her and her contributions to our crafting community!
So I thought I would create a pretty floral card, but I somehow stamped the wrong sentiment. lol Do you ever do this? I meant to stamp "so happy for you", but I accidentally stamped "to you" rather than "for you" so I had to change the sentiment so it will be a birthday card. Fiddlesticks! We can pretend I meant to do that, but we both know better.
Most of this card is stamped using In Bloom: Carolina's Florals with Angelica Suarez with the notable exception of the frame which is from Framed with Evelin T Designs. I used Catherine Pooler Designs Inks in black jack for all the outline flowers and leaves and icing on the cake for the frame. For the solid layer of the flowers I used Distress Oxide Inks in abandoned coral and fossilized amber and the leaves are cracked pistachio and the "happy" in broken china. I then cut them all out using In Bloom: Carolina's Florals with Angelica Suarez Cutaways.
I stamped the frame and then colored it in with watered down black jack. I then arranged the flowers and leaves on two corners of the frame and glued them on. I figured out the placement of the happy and then stamped the supporting wrong revised sentiments in black jack in the frame. I glued on the "happy".
On the actual card base I stamped the strawberry seeds from the stamp set in broken china in a sort of meandering wave across the front and flicked yellow spray in the same diagonal direction.
I then adhered the frame to the card base with foam dimensional adhesive. Pretty simple card.
That's it for me, but there are so many much more marvelous cards to behold by the jaw-droppingly talented people after me. Your next stop is the incredible Clearly Besotted Blog!!

Happy hopping,
Shay.
I really like it! So fresh and fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy card!
ReplyDeleteLoved, loved your card! We all make little mistakes--I always make a 'proto-type' card and the second one is always better than the first.
ReplyDeleteSo very cheerful. Love your color choices. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love your coloring! What great bright colors! And of course the perfect sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI have stamped the wrong sentiment, but I just used it later!! Nothing is ever an error!! Great card, I love the flowers!! So bright!!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! You are so right about Rubeena- she is a gem!
ReplyDeleteBob Ross was watching over your
ReplyDeleteshoulder - there are no mistakes,

it has. thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteLove your bright card! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI adore all that CAS white space on this card!!! Terrific!!!
ReplyDeleteCAS which I like & such a happy looking card too. I think it was a great idea to use the strawberry seeds to ground the flowers. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a talented artist! Thank you to all for inspiring me to create.
ReplyDeletePretty card! Love those beautiful flowers! I am happy to be hopping along to celebrate Rubeena's 4th crafting anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Very creative! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the card you made and the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card!!! Love this frame stamp!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your happy floral card. So many people add tons of flowers and it's overwhelming for me. I like the simplicity better. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I would say I make errors on at least half my cards and have to adapt! This morning it was laying my card onto some watercolor I had left on one of my blocks! No worries, I just added a piece of designer paper inside the card! I think this is the fun of crafting... being able to be spontaneous and creative with our designs! I love the way your floral card turned out and someone will love it for their birthday!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty floral card! I'd never guess you messed up on the sentiment -- looks like you meant to stamp that!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, no matter if your sentiment wasn’t what you meant it to be. It’s a beautiful birthday card!
ReplyDeleteLove this card so gorgeous 😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteThis hop is amazing, and I love this happy card. Great colors and great execution.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you just love boo-boos?! They make us more creative! !
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the frame around the sentiment and then the
ReplyDeleteflowers on two corners. And it's the kind of card that any
sentiment would be perfect!!
Very pretty card! Love the design!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and love your design...it's so good to hear that designers themselves sometimes make "boo boos"! LOL There's always a way to "fix" it!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, love the framed sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. It turned out to be a happy accident;) The frame is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog hop, Awesome card! I love the vivid colors on the flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the brights and design. Hugz

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and fresh looking card! TFS, and thank you to Winnie & Walter for being a blog hop sponsor!
ReplyDeleteOh Shay, you made me laugh...the question was do you every do that? (Stamp the wrong sentiment)..the answer would be.......OFTEN....sometimes my mind is just working so fast, that I am thinking about the next thing to do on my card...and OOPS....glad you could recover and save your sweet card....Great blog hop so far.....great little stories from each one of you....and I too want to celebrate this milestone for a talented young artist...and new momma......thanks again...big hugs

Beautiful and bright, happy card!!! Mistake or not, it's so nice that you found a way to salvage it and didn't have to start over. And, you did a fab job! TFS---have a very blessed day!
ReplyDeleteHappy accidents are what makes crafting so interesting! And I love the card. It is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment still turned out great- thanks for sharing your 'mistake' but it still looked great
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! So fresh and happy - makes a perfect Happy Birthday card (wink).
ReplyDeleteNice card - so great to be able to salvage a boo-boo and no one the wiser (unless you advertise!) :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't spilled the beans, no one would have known. My first thought when I saw the sentiment was "That's a neat variation on the usual birthday wishes." :) I love how you used strawberry seed stamp to add some background interest.
ReplyDeleteOnly someone special will make things, right, no mater what!
ReplyDeleteShay, your card is adorable, and your heart is most generous! Thanks for always making everyone feel so special! xx

ReplyDeleteYour florals are very bright and cheerful and the frame is terrific. The use of the strawberry seeds in yellow and blue as a background added to the playful look of your card. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and cheery card! Love the colors and the clever use of the strawberry seeds as accents is brilliant! Thanks for providing inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story and card.
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny and challenging to find another way of making the card, when I make mistakes. Then I'm the only one knowing about the error and the card ends up as something different than intended. But that's the fun in all this, I think.
I really like the card. Even if you wanted it with another saying in the first place.
Such a sweet card, Shay. And no one can tell you intended to use a different sentiment. Also love how you've used the strawberry seeds to add interest to the background. Makes me want to go and play with this stamp set.
ReplyDeleteSometimes accidents can turn into our best creations. Lovely, vibrant card!
ReplyDeleteShay, your card is so pretty even with your 'boo-boo' and YES, it has happened to me as well! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers in the corners of the frame, so sweet.

ReplyDeleteCute card, despite your original intentions for it! Thank you for sharing the story though cause so many of us non-professionals beat ourselves up for silly mistakes and trash a lot of perfectly usable work just because it wasn't what we originally intended. Its good to see someone turn it around and make it work!!! A good reminder that a mistake is just a good place for an embellishment :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab happy card :)
